NEW YORK (VINnews) — On the occasion of Holocaust Remembrance day, marked in Israel from Monday evening, US President Joe Biden posted on his Twitter account a statement in which he equated between the “6 million Jews” who died in the Holocaust and “millions of other innocent lives lost during one of the darkest chapters in history,” he wrote.

“We can’t redeem the past. But we can commit to building a future where we uphold the values of justice, equality, and diversity,” added Biden.
Last week, Biden signed a proclamation declaring that April 16 through April 23 would be a week of observance of the Days of Remembrance of Victims of the Holocaust. Biden mentioned the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust, but once again included all of the other denominations targeted by Nazis.
“During Yom HaShoah and throughout these days of remembrance, we mourn the six million Jews who were murdered during the horror of the Holocaust — as well as the millions of Roma and Sinti, Slavs, disabled persons, LGBTQI+ individuals, and political dissidents who were murdered at the hands of the Nazis and their collaborators. Together with courageous survivors, descendants of victims, and people around the world, we renew our solemn vow: Never again,’” Biden said in the proclamation.
“Last year, I returned to Yad Vashem, the World Holocaust Remembrance Center, to pay tribute to the lives that were stolen during this dark chapter of our history and to honor their memory. I will never forget meeting with two survivors on that sacred ground and hearing their stories. The horrors of the Holocaust are painful to recount — the savage murder of innocent families and the systemic dehumanization of entire populations. We remember the cries for help that went unanswered and the bright futures cut short. We must never look away from the truth of what happened. The rite of remembrance becomes more urgent with each passing year, as fewer survivors remain to share their stories and open our eyes to the harms of unchecked hatred.”
“Unfortunately, hatred never truly goes away. It only hides — lurking until it is given the oxygen to emerge again. We have seen this hard truth across our country, from swastikas on cars and antisemitic banners on bridges to attacks against Jewish people at schools and synagogues and outright Holocaust denialism. The venom and violence of antisemitism goes against all the values we stand for as Americans. And it is a stark reminder — as my dear friend Elie Wiesel once said — that ‘Indifference is always the friend of the enemy. And as my father taught me, ‘silence is complicity,’” stated Biden.
April 19th marks the 80th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, and the Holocaust Remembrance ceremonies in Israel will focus on the Jewish resistance to the Nazis during the course of the uprising.
“Hate must have no safe harbor in America or anywhere else. Today and always, we make our message clear: Evil will not win. Hate will not prevail. And the violence of antisemitism will not be the story of our time. Together, we can ensure that ‘never again’ is a promise we keep,” concluded Biden.
His admin is riddled with terrorist supporting Jew haters.
Words are meaningless unless followed by actual deeds. Biden and demorates are full of Jew haters Just wonder what Jewish organization wrote his speech
His VP just praised and thanked an unrepentant racist Jew hater.
The democartic party black caucus including his former boss the obamanation openly support holocaust denying Jew hater farrakhan.
Nationwide the anti semites are anti Israel terrorist supporting leftists all fully supported by the entire democartic party.

Just empty words from a jew hating bum
Most inept person !!

I snorted into my coffee reading this
This is such a lie and distortioin of the turth. It makes any honest person need to vomit. This is a disgarce to my grandparents who suffered through the lageran.
The fake news and others like to make out if oh this was just a culture war against LGBT and Gypsies and “political prisoners” with jews as a piece of it. It’s baloney and a lie. Sure once they went after jews they also said lets throw in some of the others. However, the story of the holocuast isn’t just rounding up and exterminating us. Its the story about the sadistic and claculated actions of the nazis YM”S. The lists they drew, the plans they drew, the effort they put into huting down every last jew, the work they put into fooling us that it would be good and the tortoure that Mengele YM’S and others did was all gleefully focused on jews. Its a much deeper story than your classic civil war in Sudan. And of course the fact that Germans were educated , well mannered people vs just peasants is also part of it. But the key point is yes this was about the jews and thats the story. The others were just casuialities of an existing campaign against jews.
